Thrustmaster T300 RS GT
The T300 RS GT is a belt-drive wheelbase with 3.9 Nm peak torque over USB plus an external PSU, aimed at beginners, PlayStation racers and value belt-drive buyers. Belt drive gives smoother feel than gear systems at this level. With entry-tier torque it suits first wheels and PS4/PS5 setups, but it sits below the direct-drive options for those wanting stronger, more detailed feedback.
